What Constitutes Endangering The Welfare Of A Child?

There are a limitless number of scenarios where a person could find themselves charged with Endangering the Welfare of a Child. For instance, you smoke a large quantity of ma*****na and fall fast asleep. Meanwhile, your five-year-old sneaks out the front door and is discovered by a passerby walking down the street. You will probably be charged with Endangering the Welfare of a Child. Or, consider this: you’re very thirsty from doing the yard work and need cold beer – lots of ice-cold beer. However, you don’t feel like driving to the Pa**ie (slang for the beer store here in New England). You toss the car keys to the 15-year-old and tell him to make himself useful – drive me to the store! You’ll probably be charged with Endangering the Welfare of a Child after little Tommy crashes the family mini-van into a tree on the way to buy said beer. Learn here:

Domestic Violence Laws In NH – Many couples cope with Domestic Violence in New Hampshire. Relationships aren’t easy. Sometimes intimate partners find themselves at odds with one another about personal matters (jealously, children, loyalty, finances, etc.). Most of the time disagreements such as these are resolved by both partners taking a time out and resolving the issues by talking through them. Sometimes, however, an intimate partner’s anger or frustration may become explosive. He/she may become excessively loud, overbearing, aggressive, or physical towards the other partner. Such aggressive behavior sometimes catches the attention of local law enforcement. What was initially an argument between two people has now become a full blown government investigation. Learn here:

What Is Disorderly Conduct?

A better question would be, what isn’t Disorderly Conduct?
The Disorderly Conduct law is kind of a kitchen sink law which prohibits a myriad of conduct that a neighbor, a pedestrian, or a police officer might find troublesome.

For instance, the Disorderly Conduct statute (RSA 644:2) prohibits:

Creating a condition in public that is hazardous and serves no legitimate purpose,
• Fighting in public,
• Engaging in violent or tumultuous behavior in public;
• Engaging in threatening behavior in public;
• Being obscene in public;

What Are Some Defenses To Criminal Mischief?

Criminal mischief requires the State to prove, beyond a reasonable doubt, that you acted purposely or recklessly. So, assume for a moment that you plop yourself down in a chair and immediately hear a terrible crunching noise. You jump up and look at the chair only to discover that you’ve sat on, and crushed, your partners reading glasses. This was an accident and, thus, does not constitute the crime of Criminal Mischief. Breaking or damaging your own property is not an offense. Assume you’re in an argument with your friend about which baseball team is better, New York or Boston. Your friend thinks New York is the better team. You vehemently disagree. In a moment of rage, you flip over your glass coffee table and it breaks into a million pieces. This is not a crime as the property, coffee table, were yours. Learn here:

Computer Crimes Law – Here is a common computer crime scenario: You’re on your computer and you enter into a “chat room.” You start to talk with some unknown person and the discussion becomes sexual in nature. It comes up during the conversation that the person you are speaking with is underage. Undeterred, you press on with the conversation. Unbeknownst to you, the person you are speaking with is actually a detective. The detective is monitoring every word you type while playing along with the on-line conversation. The relevant New Hampshire statute, entitled Certain Uses of Computer Services Prohibited, states that no person shall knowingly utilize a computer on-line service or internet service to seduce, lure, or entice a child (a person under 16) or another person believed by the person to be a child to commit a sexual offense, indecent exposure or endangering the welfare of the child.
